You're eating well, working out consistently, but the scale keeps climbing. Your body feels different. Your clothes don't fit. And you're wondering—am I doing something wrong, or is this just perimenopause? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Monica McKitterick, Family Nurse Practitioner and founder of Impact Family Wellness, to talk about the real reasons hormonal weight gain happens in midlife—and what you can actually do about it. We're covering HRT (the risks and benefits your doctor might not be telling you), GLP-1 medications for weight loss, thyroid issues that often get missed, and the truth about perimenopause and menopause weight gain. This is an honest, no-fluff conversation about what's happening in your body and the tools available to help. If you're frustrated, confused, or just want straight answers about hormones and weight loss, this episode is for you.   Website: www.impactfamilywellness.com www.dpcformula.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/impactfamilywellness/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impactfamilywellness/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/@impactfamilywellnessllc4726 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicamckitterick/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/dpc-formula/
